BJP Leaders Criticize BRS, Congress Governments
Etala Targets Huzurabad MLA In Campaign Rally · deccanchronicle.com

At a campaign rally in Kamalapur, BJP MP Etala Rajendar criticized the sitting BRS MLA, Padi Koushik Reddy, for not doing much in the last two years and for winning the last election by making people emotional.

Rajendar said elections should be about people's lives and dignity, not emotions or money.

He also talked about how the central government helps with local projects and how the state government is having money problems.

Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy also accused the Congress and BRS governments of neglecting villages and failing to deliver on promises.

He said the central government has provided a lot of funding for development in Telangana.

Meanwhile, several BRS leaders were detained to prevent them from protesting during Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s meeting in Devarakonda.

With this, we will know if the Kaleshwaram scheme has collapsed or not. If there is water to the brim, then you will drown. If you keep afloat, it will prove us wrong.”
